At a top level, a computer consists of CPU (central processing unit), memory, and I/O components, with one or more modules of each type. These components are interconnected in some fashion lo achieve the basic function of the computer, which is to execute programs. Thus, al a top level...
of Santa Clara, Calif. These prior art numeric (or math) coprocessors are specifically designed to process computations at a greater rate than what a general purpose microprocessor (e.g., their counterpart host processors, the Intel 8086, 80286, and 80386DX microprocessors, respectively) can ...
16. As observed in both figures, a one-chip microprocessor reads the key matrix in the DOS/V machine. Synchronous communication of this data by clocking synchronous to the KEY 64 side is the mechanism used for communicating with the CPU 21 side. In contrast, the PC-9800 machine adopts the...

A CPU or microprocessor which includes a general purpose CPU, such as an X86 core, and a DSP. The CPU also includes an intelligent DSP function decoder or preprocessor which examines X86 opcode sequen
As known to persons skilled in the applicable arts, early personal computers typically used the then popular Intel 8088 or 8086 microprocessor as the system processor. These processors have the ability to address one megabyte of memory. More recently, personal computers typically use the high speed...
